Don't know if this is relevant to the Alternative format, but they are about to film a video for this. Looks like "Why I Am" flopped. Should of been "Shake Me Like a Monkey" really  |

"Why I Am" is doing just fine on AAA though. Anything else they released after "Funny the Way It Is" crapped out at #17 would have done top 40 at best.

Agreed. "Funny the Way It Is" rose quickly due to the anticipation factor more than anything else. "SMLAM" would of got top 40 though imo.

Shake Me Like A Monkey could have done better than Funny the Way It Is. It's the heaviest song they've ever done.

This could be very big on Hot AC.

Shake Me Like A Monkey could have done better than Funny the Way It Is. It's the heaviest song they've ever done. The guitar riffs in that song are truly semi-metal, even though the horns give it a nice melodic feel. "Time Bomb" is quite a heavy song too, though more from an atmospheric and lyrical standpoint (Dave Matthews really sounds like Eddie Vedder more than ever during the latter half of the song) Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

'TimeBomb' would be an awesome single! It's probably the best song, imo, on the album. Although it's not as interesting sounding as some of the songs from the late 90s, I think it sounds incredible and love the buildup.
